Bachelor of Education - Early Childhood Teaching

If you want to develop a love of learning and discovery in young children and be part of laying the foundations for their success, then this is the right degree for you. This three-year undergraduate degree will give you the skills to provide quality education and care to New Zealand's young children.

You'll learn the art of being flexible, adaptable and resourceful, able to work not only with young children but also with a wide variety of adults in the community. Discover the importance of wellbeing and explore the concept of play as a valuable learning tool. Gain the skills to create healthy, safe learning environments for children, their caregivers and whānau. Your degree will focus on four areas—curriculum, culture, professionalism and practical teaching experience. Designed to prepare you for an exciting and stimulating career as an early childhood teacher, successful completion means you'll be eligible for provisional teacher registration with the New Zealand Teachers Council.

Graduate with the tools and knowledge you need to work in early childhood education services like kindergartens, early childcare centres, Pacific Island language nests and home-based care.
